The Last Picture Show (1971) 98% EDIT “Although the film is never sentimental, it is also never moving. It appeals to the lesser instincts of folk identification, recognizing the past without recognizing what it was about the past that was valuable. ” – The Spectator Oct 24, 2023 Full Review Joe Hill (1971) 50% EDIT “Joseph Hillstom... the Swedish immigrant who became an American labour leader only to be framed and shot for his political involvement, has been lovingly brought back to life by Bo Widerberg.” – The Spectator Mar 11, 2020 Full Review Straw Dogs (1971) 82% EDIT “A declining industry has invested over a million dollars In a new form of pornography for which the public are demonstrating they have an Insatiable appetite. That is the problem.” – The Spectator Jan 10, 2019 Full Review The Conformist (1970) 98% EDIT “Its importance is that it uncomfortably relates the causes of political involvement (that clich again) and the cost of such involvement...” – The Spectator Jun 13, 2018 Full Review Let It Be (1970) 81% EDIT “The film is a bore. It's supposed to show how the Beatles work, but it doesn't. Shot without any design, clumsily edited, uninformative and naive, it would have destroyed a lesser group.” – Observer (UK) Jan 17, 2018 Full Review McCabe & Mrs. Miller (1971) 85% EDIT “It's not so much that it's indifferent film -- it's too arch to be bad. More that it's a disappointment.” – The Spectator Aug 9, 2016 Full Review Wanda (1970) 92% EDIT “Without Barbara Loden and her like, the film business must die an even noisier and self-pitying death than it is already.” – The Spectator Sep 28, 2015 Full Review A Clockwork Orange (1971) 86% EDIT “There is no other director who can transfix the human condition with such galvanic images.” – The Spectator Jun 24, 2015 Full Review
